Applying for a refund

Applying for a refund

The University will only issue refunds where:

  • The money to be refunded has been received and entered into the University's accounts.
  • All other debts to the University, such as library fines or student loan fees, are paid.
  • The course or subject withdrawal has been processed where applicable.

The University will issue refunds:

  • By Electronic Funds Transfer or telegraphic transfer. We will make the payment to the bank account specified on your refund request. Make sure the details are correct. We can’t check if the account name matches the BSB and account number. Incorrect details may result in payment to the wrong account and loss of funds.
  • If you paid by credit card, we will refund to that card if possible. In Australian dollars, unless the international bank process states otherwise.
  • Within 10 to 15 working days after we receive your refund application.
  • You must provide proof of identification if you can't access your University of Melbourne student email. Non-current students must provide a certified copy of an ID, such as a passport or driver's licence.

How to apply

After you submit your fee refund form, you’ll get an automated email confirming your submission.
